USask-led research team traces ancient fossils for evolutionary clues. Small, palm-sized rocks litter the countertops in a lab in the University of Saskatchewan’s (USask) Department of Geology. Spiral patterns and near-perfect interlocking hexagons are etched into the surface of so many rocks. #CdnPSE @usask

Research shows path to easier diagnosis of mitochondrial disorders. “With our study, we were hoping to show the differences between primary mitochondrial disorders and non-PMDs and then give specific recommendations for appropriate genetic tests depending on the age of patients.” #CdnPSE @UAlberta

Research uncovers big role for tiny organisms in ocean. “The findings highlight that even the tiniest organisms not only respond to environmental conditions, but actively modulate and buffer elemental and nutrient cycles.” #CdnPSE @DalhousieU

S’adapter à 13 heures de décalage: le défi de l’équipe canadienne de patinage de vitesse. Des chercheurs ont analysé la façon dont les membres de l’équipe canadienne de patinage de vitesse courte piste se sont adaptés aux grands décalages horaires lors de compétitions en Asie. #EPSCdn @UMontreal

Getting over a 13-hour jet lag: how do Canada’s speed-skaters do it? Researchers analyzed how the country’s short-track speed-skating team adapts to major time-zone differences when they fly to competitions in Asia. #CdnPSE @UMontreal

Productive meeting with Ambassador @MeilunasE to strengthen collaboration between Canadian and Lithuanian research universities. Canada’s participation in Horizon Europe is a key opportunity to advance knowledge through open and secure research with our European partners.🇨🇦🇱🇹

Students use virtual reality to transform stroke recovery. Psychology, computer science students incorporate VR, AR into brain injury rehabilitation. #CdnPSE @UBC @ubcokanagan

"This may be the precise moment for Canada to be more strategic about how to welcome newcomers with the potential to fuel innovation." @WesternU President Alan Shepard on why Canada must reassess student visa policy to attract top talent.

Schulich researchers develop early detection strategy for life-threatening infection. Game-changing technology can spot early signs of sepsi. #CdnPSE @WesternU

There is no innovation without research, and there is no research without talent. Dr. Sophie D'Amours, Rector of @universitelaval, on how leading research universities are fostering excellence and promoting talent mobility. @German_U15 #ISPS2025

USask researcher using bat immune systems to find next generation therapies. “Bats evolved over 64 million years ago and we believe that this has given them ample time to adapt their immune responses to better tolerate viral infections.” #CdnPSE @usask

McMaster researchers develop and share free antibiotic discovery tool to fight superbugs. “Using machine learning, our tool is allowing researchers from all over the world to rapidly assess their own chemicals for new drug candidates that target these bacteria.” #CdnPSE @McMasterU

Tiny robots guided by the light. Inspired by water bugs, researchers create tiny swimming robots for medical, environmental uses. #CdnPSE @UWaterloo

VIDO researchers collaborate with international team to unlock secrets of bat genomes. “This study looked at an antiviral gene in bats known as ISG15 and we found that it reduces the number of viruses in cells, but this effect was dependent on the species of bat.” #CdnPSE @usask

Western researchers uncover new approach to predicting pain through international collaboration. Two biomarkers could transform the way chronic pain is understood and managed. #CdnPSE @WesternU

AI, quantum computing used to target 'undruggable' cancer protein. U of T researchers say their study shows quantum computers can be incorporated into AI-driven drug discovery pipelines. #CdnPSE @UofT

Waterloo researcher curates powerful new exhibition. Dr. Robert Jan van Pelt's expertise in architecture and history brings Auschwitz: Not long ago. Not far away. to the ROM. #CdnPSE @UWaterloo

Dead galaxies, live signals: Astronomers uncover a fast radio burst’s surprising location. McGill astronomers place FRB 20240209A in a region of space associated with a ‘dead’ galaxy, one that is no longer forming stars. #CdnPSE @mcgillu

Des signaux détectés dans une galaxie morte : des astronomes découvrent la localisation surprenante d’un sursaut radio rapide. Des astronomes de l’Université McGill situent FRB 20240209A dans une région de l’espace associée à une galaxie « morte », soit une galaxie qui ne forme plus d’étoiles. #EPSCdn @mcgillu
